Yeah, look at what it costs to redo your barn. Right? I mean, yeah. It probably costs about, just to remodel your barn, probably costs what it did to build them. So we're putting in gates and doing some solid sides and stuff right now. Yep. Probably should be looking at slots and that kind of stuff, even though they're not bad, but like, you know, you're doing all that stuff.

My barn's a 26 years old. So, I mean, yeah, we got a quote a year or two ago. I think 2022 we got a quote. It's three quarters of a million dollars to redo everything. We paid less than that for the site. Yep. Let's talk about this a little bit. So I went to the Western store yesterday, Western Edge, and got to talk with owner Melanie Edge.

We're under $4. So under $4. So we just cut every farmer's paycheck in half now and caught twice as much to borrow it. What do you guys think the next three years looks like? It feels negative. It doesn't look good. And I'm not probably a good one to ask because like I said, this is year four for farming for me. So I've seen nothing but good until this year. I feel like it's sideways.

There's nothing that seems like it's going to break a lot of news out up or down. I mean, you'd have to come up with a lot of demand for this to go up, or you'd have to come up with a crop failure. See, you know, like, I don't think, somebody asked me the other day, and I don't think new trucks are going to go back to $30,000. So everything costs more.

Now, I've tried to charge more, and yet I'm getting beaten up even more in price because now it's that competitive because everybody's worried about it so that they're all lowering their prices. I don't know what the right stance is. Do you just...

I think Cory's got a good theory on why truck costs are as high as they are based upon his most recent discoveries, or at least paying more attention to what he discovered. Well, we're looking at upgrading the wife's minivan, and we're looking at maybe going to an SUV. Yep. Well, if your wife does anything for the farm or the business, I mean, that's a business expense for a vehicle.

Well, you can't pull the bean head with the minivan? Actually, it's got a... See, you can ride that off. Yeah, but you can only... If it's under 6,000 pounds, you can only ride off $20,000 of it. Okay. If it's over 6,000 pounds, you can ride up to 80% of the value off towards your business. So I'm looking at SUVs, right? And they're more than dang trucks now. They're ridiculous.
